there is no MAILTO when I went to default programs. I did check to see if
windows mail had all its defaults and the only windows mail in the default
list is Windows Mail (News). Is this the same thing? If it is it does have
all its defaults.

Assuming that you went to "Associate a file type of protocol with a
program", I wonder what third party program is killing this Registry entry
for some people. Copy the part between the lines below and save it as
MailTo.reg
---------------------------------------MailTo.reg----------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

If your local computer stores don't have it, see of of these places:
Make sure you choose one that includes Outlook - not all versions do.

I'm unable to correct this problem. All my defaults are OK. Will installing
Outlook Express solve this problem? Can you install Outlook express on the
vista system?

I have looked for days for the reason I could not send email from Word and
Explore and could not mailto from websites and then I came across your post.
I downloaded and merged the file, went to default programs and made sure all
three boxes were checked, and now all works fine. Thanks for relieving my
great frustration with this aspect of Vista and Windows Mail!
